Question: The OT points to Jesus Christ, how does this chapter point to Christ?
Answer: It is true that the Scriptures point to Jesus (John 5:39), probably more than we will ever know. At the same time, I think we may sometimes take things too far in ascribing meaning to every detail as is done with parables. However, an interesting note on this chapter is that mathematically the Israelite camp fits the shape of the cross. -PJ
